We send 180 metric tons and 120 metric tons of wheat - CM Mann
On this occasion, CM Mann said that Punjab is a food bowl. We send 180 metric tons of rice and 120 metric tons of wheat to the center. Punjabis have worked very hard to bring green revolution in the country. The water level of Punjab has gone down a lot for growing rice, yet Punjabis are standing for the country. Whichever country Punjabis go to, they become successful. Punjabis do more farming and truck driving.

I have traveled the whole world- CM
Chief Minister Mann said that I have traveled the whole world, but nowhere can I find a fertile land like Punjab. There is no land in the world that produces so much crop.
4-4 methods of sowing crops have come
CM Mann said that today four-four methods of sowing crops have come. Four-four methods of watering have come. Technologies like drones and AI have come to the country. In the same way, we expect meaningful results for solving problems related to environment and agriculture from experienced experts and scientists who have come to this conference from the country and abroad. I do not want to do politics here. This is a temple of knowledge.
8 pesticides banned in Punjab, still available
CM Mann said that agricultural fairs are organized for farmers. So that they can get solid information about the sprays to be done on crops. 8 pesticides have been banned in Punjab. Monocrotophos spray is still going on. When asked, the officials are saying that the goods of the previous record are lying. The situation of agriculture is getting worse.
Climate is changing, the plane could not land
Governor Gulab Chand Kataria said that the climate is changing. Now we have to work accordingly. The Vice President was supposed to come today, but the weather changed so much that his plane could not land here. Our scientists will learn special things from the delegation that has come today. 4 methods of sowing the same crop have been discovered.
The plane kept flying in the sky for 1 hour
Governor Gulab Chand Kataria said that experts from the country and abroad have arrived here today regarding climate change, food security and energy conservation. We welcome them. Actually, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar was supposed to come today. His plane kept flying in the sky for about 1 hour, but due to bad climate, he could not land.
The conditions for landing were not right in Amritsar too
Tried to land in Amritsar too, but the conditions there were not right either. Due to this, his visit has been cancelled today. Today everyone has come to know how important it is to pay attention to the climate. CM Bhagwant Singh Mann's jokes have connected people with real issues. Today there is a need to fix the climate.
It is our fault in climate change
Kacharia said that the biggest challenge in the country is climate change. It is our fault in worsening climate change. Humans have tampered with nature. There is a hole in the ozone layer. The effect of climate change is visible not only in India but all over the world.
